3 homes games - Laois will be happy with that. First gsme under lights. Should be a cracker.

[Neutralobserver]

some great games to be looking forward to and exactly where laois need to be competing against them counties

[clonadmad]

The bare minimum expectation is  that we win the carlow game in order to stay out of the relegation final

[Mossy Bruce]

I hope to see Laois beat Carlow and give a very serious go at Dublin, again.

[redsetanta]

I see where Eanna Lyons is out for the season. Tough on the young lad but he sounds very positive about his situation and will be staying around the panel for the year.

How are things on the injury front with other players?

Good job Mossy, well done..

[Mossy Bruce]

Thanks, Junior Ex Laoistalk!

[Junior Ex Laoistalk]

Thanks, Junior Ex Laoistalk!

Just call me Junior...

I would guess then that Mr. Ex Laoistalk is no good either.

Pity about Joe Phelan leaving the panel. Thought he was very good last year against Dublin and held his own against Tipp. I suppose fro some of these lads who are not getting younger they had the year of their hurling lives last year. Winning Joe McDonagh, first big championship win in years, getting to play in Croke Park etc. Very hard to beat that so maybe go out on a high.

Joe sort of flagged last year that his days were numbered. He might have struggled to get a starting place if all our backs were fit but given Lee Cleere's absence / injury we could do with him.

Are Dwayne Palmer or Leigh Bergin involved?

[redsetanta]

After the fallout from the county final you'd wonder would Dwayne Palmer coming back upset the camp. Lee Bergin would be a big plus if he was back.

In fairness we still have a decent panel of players but in reality maybe only 16 or 17 of those available are up to the standard required to go at the bigger teams. It will be a tough championship and any few injuries will have a huge effect on us.

County final? 2019 or 2018?

[burdizzo]

I think it was him who deliberately stamped on and broke Paddy Purcell's hurl in last year's final?
However, I'm sure it was the previous year's behaviour that's being referenced!
